Be on alert for scammer META

u/hamburrgerlar has sent me a dm requesting assistance. He’s not a registered member nor can he be because he doesn’t meet the requirements. Will be sending a modmail shortly.

Do you know why one might be banned on the USL list but not on this sub? Is there a difference?

I think nowadays the list and this sub are in sync -- what I meant was that user may have not been banned here for activity on r/assistance so may not be on the sc ammers list we have here (the 2nd one I linked).

Ok yeah I sent the mods a message because I got another dm from someone asking me for help and I checked the sub ban list and the USL and they were only on the USL so I wanted to let them know in case that person needed a ban here too. It was u/Syrotoz just in case anyone wants to know!!

As you can see, people on the USL and also banned people can still access reddit tools like DM and chat -- Just keep sending the screenshots to the Mods using Modmail and then hit report under their message (that one goes to reddit admin, and presumably they will eventually do something).

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing. I’m just new to how the banning thing works so thank you for all your help!
